Our Staff: Our Strength!

Our dedicated team of highly qualified and skilled staff are the key to our success.

Our General shop manager, Dave Malloy, has been with the shop from the beginning, providing over 30 years of dedication to both the business and its customers. He is in charge of product development, meat preparation, team supervision and ensuring that our high standards are always maintained.

Another team member is our Assistant Manager Neil Hughes. Neil is in charge of all internet sales and will quite possibly be the person to cut your order! Neil has been part of the team for over 25 years.

The shop is looked after by a committed team of people who really care about our company and its customers; directed by assistant manager Terry Elliott, senior supervisor Tania Philips and assistant supervisor Nicky Williams, who together, ensure that our shop customers are well cared for. These three members alone have been with Edwards of Conwy for the combined equivalent of nearly 60 years!

Our Bakery Team have won major national awards for their pies and bakery products, including Great Taste 2 star gold awards.

We also employ qualified chefs who work alongside our butchers to develop new ideas and recipes.

All of our meat and sausages are prepared by qualified and experienced time served butchers, overseen by Ieuan himself.
